“Everything’s gonna be just fine,” Lance reassured. That was easy for him to say, as he’d be sitting in the Blue Lion taking a nap while Hunk tried not to get eaten by the yellow one. “I’m doing all the hard work by flying you here,” Lance continued, “All you’ve gotta do is go into whatever cave the Lion is in, touch the walls a little, maybe lick a few rocks–”

“-I have to go into a cave?!” Hunk gasped. “All alone?! What if an alien bat eats me?!”

“An alien bat won’t eat you!” Lance retorted, “Alien bats aren’t even real! Coran said this planet was totally uninhabited, remember? Except for, like, microscopic shit, but that’s the last thing you have to worry about jumping out and attacking you.”

“Then what should I worry about jumping out and attacking me?” Hunk grumbled.

Lance sighed heavily and rolled his eyes. “Nothing,” he said with finality. “This planet is totally fucking empty. It’s just you and me and Blue and– Oh, shit on a dick!”

I’m cooking.

Unpopular opinion but I don't hate the Altean Colony plot. It's just another wasted plot line that could've been very interesting.

A lot of people think it ruined Lotors character but I'd argue it didn't. Him not getting a redemption did. The white lion is episode is a perfect depiction of Lotors character.

This is just an opinion, and a poorly done analysis.

Essentially, even if Lotor despises Galran culture/heritage it's clearly had an impact on him. Allura was wrong when she said he's just like his father, Lotor is exactly like his mother.

Lotor shouts at the lion "victory or death" That's all he's been taught. That's how he had to survive too, considering he's an outcast hated by his own father.

(And then Honerva takes her chances with the white lion by killing it too....she was just successful..)

Another thing is, Lotor never had the time to explain the colony to Allura. We never got to see Lotors perspective of this colony. I'm not saying Lotor is a liar, he's meticulous, manipulative but honest when it came to team Voltron and I do think his allegiance go them was true.

So...why the colony? So here's two things.

Some things are earned the hard way. If anyone knows about loss, it should be Allura. In his furious state Lotor threatened to wipe out any enemies in the way of him and his new Altean followers.

His word is true. That may be hard to accept but victory or death. I always found that so interesting about Lotor, how complex things are for him. Had he gained the secrets of Oriande or whatever would he have found another way?

Secondly, all those bodies being used. This is just a theory here because I don't know. But, none of those bodies were disposed of.

And you know what quintessence does? Well I don't know if it has the ability to ressurect but it gives you immortality. Considering the fact that the Altean bodies were still kept, Lotors promise may have been good. He could easily restore their lives, now given with immortality.

On top of that, if the Alteans are immortal, Lotors reign can last forever. That's probably what Lotor wants.

His 'death' or so doesn't make sense because last I heard Lotor had some sort of immunity to the quintessence field...(allegedly) The Altean colony plot gets left behind, Romelle is a useless character, the way his character is set up. It just makes sense honestly for him to be this anti villian. People mistake him for an anti hero. He's not.

Because Lotors reasons are understandable. His redemption arc starts with him realizing it's not always about victory or death. Too bad he died fighting that way.

Guys! I’m fricking idiot for not thinking about this sooner! Keith being too Glara for the Paladins, but he’s too human for the Galra. I’m giving him the true Wasian/Asian American/abc experience. I’m stupid for not thinking about this earlier!

okay, so, for my vld rewrite, do you guys think the klance confession should be...

in the middle of/after a high stakes battle

at a completely random time when one of them is just fed up
